LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 998: Demon Raid
-----
"Uaaaggh!"
The scream of a family of elves traveling through their car echoed, as the fissures above the tunnel spread out. Demons and Draconic Beast that had been slowly destroying their cities arrived once more, awakening an innate fear, a trauma most elves had already developed after having mostly their entire continent ravaged by these monsters.
"ROOAAR!"
"Hahaha! Yes, cry some more, you pathetic elves!"
Three General-Rank Demons laughed, riding a gigantic, red-scaled Draconic Beast, the monster's claws flared with demonic flames, swiftly swinging them against the car to tear it apart into piece and burn everything inside.
"Your souls shall be a good offering for Lord Fafnir, kehehehe!"
"No! Please, wait, WAIT!"
As the elven father screamed while hugging his son and his wife, the claw went down, an explosion of flames engulfing everything.
CRAAASH!
Yet the sound of the car exploding into pieces wasn't there, but the sound of the claws of the Draconic Beast being shattered into pieces as it hit an incredibly hard, tough, and heavy great sword.
"Why don't you mess with someone YOUR size, you big bully?!"
A beautiful pink-haired girl appeared in front of the elven family, flying in midair with enormous wings made of wood and leaves, her golden armor glowing brightly as her Aura emanated the power of Divinity within.
"What? Who is she?!"
"She broke the Draconic Beast's claws?!"
"K-Kill her, quickly! Dragon Breath, NOW!"
"ROOOAAR!"
The Draconic Beast answered their master's orders, opening their jaws and unleashing a devastating dragon breath against the girl, Erika!
BOOOM!
Yet…
"{Yggdrasil Dragon Swordsmanship Arts}: {Yggdragon's Fangs}"
SLAAASH!
A single slash of her massive sword quickly summoned her Aura, resembling a gigantic dragon opening and closing its deadly fangs.
CRASH!
That was all it took for her to easily split into two halves the entire breath attack, before the crimson and black flames were to be completely consumed by a blinding, green light.
And a second later, the Draconic Beast's entire body was split into two halves, innards beginning to slowly fall from the ground as the beast quickly crashed into the floor.
"I-Impossible…"
And the Demon Generals riding it also found their bodies split, quickly dying before they could even make sense of what had happened.
"S-She's amazing…"
"W-Who is she?"
"She possesses the power of Yggdrasil within her?!"
The Elven family gasped in disbelief as they saw their little hero slowly descend from the skies.
"Please, you mustn't stay out here! It's very dangerous! Here, enter my shadows. They're being controlled by Blake, so he'll protect you!"
Erika's shadow flickered, forming a door that slowly opened.
"Blake, you mean the Summoner?!"
"She must be… right, Erika! She is one of the Summoner's companions!"
"So that's why she has pink hair! T-Thank you so much!"
The elves trusted the girl that saved their lives, quickly jumping into the shadows, finding themselves inside a safe, yet rather creepy pocket dimension within the dark shadows Blake controlled.
Well, at least staying here for a couple minutes was better than dying, certainly.
"Uuuaaggh! Help!"
"N-No, get away from me!"
"Please, someone!"
Erika didn't have any time to rest, quickly rushing into action as she summoned her Spirits, which quickly clashed against the invading draconic beast and demons one after another, while she rescued the civilians that were traveling through the tunnel.
Her Spirits weren't as strong as her, although they received buffs from both her, Blake, and Elizabeth, they were barely buying time for her. The Demon Generals, combined with the powerful A+ Rank Draconic Beasts were a deadly combination.
"I-I think I'm done…!"
After she saved over thirty people, Erika's senses could no longer sense anybody screaming for help, she glared into the distance, the rest of the tunnel had been sealed shut.
Whoever planned this had the authority to control the underground tunnel!
"This is like a grave, were they planning to seal us inside of here to die?" Erika wondered. "Well, killing us won't be so easy anymore, we're all super strong now!"
FLASH!
With a single step, Erika moved across the skies at lightning speed, her Aura of gold, green, and red color flared, as golden flames covered her sword.
"Hyaaa!" she roared, her sword moving rapidly and consecutively, activating several techniques at once. "{Yggdrasil Dragon Swordsmanship Arts}: {Yggdragon's Claws}! {Yggdragon's Fangs}!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"S-She's too strong…"
"What sort of bullshit is this?!"
"They said they couldn't be strong enough to handle all of us!"
Each of her sword attacks came accompanied with her Yggdragon Aura flickering constantly, changing its shape from deadly draconic bites to enormous draconic claws, and then, a deadly breath attack that blew everything with Divine Golden Flames of Life.
"{Yggdragon's Breath}!"
BOOOM!
"Gryyaarrghh!"
The screams of agony of the Demons were like music to Erika's ears, she utterly hated the evil demons for all the destruction they have brought not only to her country but the rest of the world.
After she learned that the continent where her mother family originated from had been massacred to such an extent, she couldn't help but develop a tremendous hatred against those responsible for it!
"I'm going to kill all of you, you monsters!" She roared, opening her little jaws and showing her sharp dragon fangs. "RAAAH!"
She unleashed her own dragon breath, blasting everything around her and burning, vaporizing any demon and draconic beast within her vicinity!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Her Draconic Powers had been leveled up all the way to the level of Divine Dragons after she ate Bestellen's heart, and it showed now!
Blake smiled as he took a small glance at her.
"Her growth is even higher than I imagined…" He thought. "I suppose I can relax and leave that area for her; she'll take care of it."
His eyes analyzed his surroundings after that, all of his friends had scattered around, summoning their Spirits and rapidly fusing with a selected one, gaining tremendous new power.
After that fight against Bestellen, everyone had learned to fuse with their spirits for prolonged periods of time and were doing so to easily overwhelm all the invaders.
"You must be the bastard commanding this band of weaklings, are you?"
Blake directed his gaze towards a muscular draconic man, after having finished tearing to pieces over a hundred draconic beasts and demons…
"And you must be the Summoner," the man said. "Or as they like to call you… Asmodeus."
